Local lockdown

[mcq10]

Time standing about doing nowt with their finger up their arses,staff “self isolating “ willy nilly on full pay.More importantly untold political power and influence for the next 20 year.
It’ll be like the shipyards and pits on our hands again

Nonsense

I was in the RVI a couple of weeks ago. People waiting on trolleys In corridors etc, doctors and nurses ran off their feet.

we didn’t fast track all those doctors and nurses for nothing you know. We have a major shortage of staff and facilities in the NHS

Shipyards and pits especially went because they held a gun to the nations head for 25-30 year until someone said enough is enough

Shipyards went because the ships we built were shite. The market was there.

Gilly still seething at people working from home. Truly bizarre. It's as if it's a new thing

I'm confused. So 'they' have made up a sham lockdown by claiming the same thing is happening with this virus as it was it March when you thought it was a justified lockdown, and agreed with, in order to give us a enforced vaccine?

If that's wrong I apologies but I don't understand why one lockdown can be justified and one a sham and where a forced vaccine comes in.

Because we have more information now. In March, they were hyping this virus up as the new black death, the deaths were ramping up in places like Italy and the whole situation was looking like getting very serious and out of control. Based on that I backed a lockdown at the time.

However, it's been obvious for some time now that this virus is nowhere near as bad as initially feared (if you're under the age of 80 and don't have any serious underlying conditions then you're basically at "struck by lightening" kind of odds of becoming seriously ill with this). Any attempts at lockdown, restrictions, mask-wearing etc should therefore be opposed - the whole thing is a sham at this point.

Make sure you keep away from Newcastle pubs then seeing as you seem to frequent them. Wouldn’t want you cross contaminating city borders

Social distancing etc in all the places I go so no problem.

You working for the Chronicle now?

Nope.

So everybody has been following the rules then

 

[Jap Stammer]

You are existing to work for 2-3 weeks. Stop being a f***ing drama queen

And you know that for certain?

Recent history seems to indicate that applying restrictions happens a lot quicker than lifting them.

Remember when lockdown was supposed to be 2-3 weeks to flatten the curve?

Apparently so. Yet he said he'd hate it. Bizarre.

Apparently not....

8pm Curfew

A good idea at this point? Could be used to stop gangs hanging around on the street if there’s a heat wave. Certainly With localised phone-in facility to inform the cops. I'm serious BTW.

Is one of the perks not dying

Provide your evidence to back up your claim.

BMJ study where they examine the increased risk in comparison with normal mortality rates :

Use of “normal” risk to improve understanding of dangers of covid-19

Accumulating data on deaths from covid-19 show an association with age that closely matches the “normal” risk we all face. Explaining risk in this way could help people understand and manage their response, says David Spiegelhalter As covid-19 turns from a societal threat into a matter of risk...

Just got back with my partner who lives 30 miles away and now this ffs.

Average so far is 23 days. Obviously depends how compliant people like yourself are though

No way will restrictions be eased that quickly and even if they do the National situation will have deteriorated by then

Average is 23 days. Depends on compliance, and judging by this thread we have a LOT of knobheads amongst us

Ooooffffff

Tbf....

Coronavirus compendium thread

If you get 80% Furloughed, can you go and work either full time or part time for another company like Tesco for example? No I'm afraid not you are still contracted to your company, at least that's what I've been told. You can do voluntary work for the NHS though

Tell that to my mate. Since he's had it (and he didn't end up in hospital) he's gone from a fit lad that played 5 a side couple of times a week to struggling to get his breath when going up stairs. Been struggling for four months. But aye, nowt to worry about.
